so i've found out a couple of the bolts on the front calipers are a bit shitty, i would like to replace them with new ones

where would people suggest i look? (in brisbane)

i've just spent the last half an hour ringing around in a vain attempt to find somewhere i might be able to just tell them the car and they would have the part i want haha (as i'm in the office right now and looking for this stuff on weekends is useless)

i'm guessing it's probably something i would need to take somewhere and get it matched up

anyone got any sure fire places ?

thanks

The bolts you're talking about, are they the ones which hold the calipers in place or something else?

If they're the ones you're talking about, why do you want to replace them for? Sorry if that's a newbie question. :(

I had to buy a pair of bolts for my ke70's calipers (it went missing) and the closest I could get to the right bolt was through Bunnings. They were still too long, but nothing a hacksaw couldn't solve.

Edited by adam-__-
just worn and old, and yeah the ones that hold the caliper on

yeah i'm thinking bunnings is going to be the way

forget hacksaws on high tensile bolts, thats what angle grinders are for

I doubt Bunnings will be the palce to source them. Personally i would try Hobsons or Coventry Fasteners and make sure they are high tensile, and i run allen head cap bolts as i find they made installation easier...but a normal bolt head will be cheaper and do the same thing

well they are just a bolt, so aslong as i can get the right thread i should be right and bunnings sells high tensile

all bolts/nuts sold in australia have to be made to ISO standards anyway so where you get them is not really an issue

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
